The Avatar is God Himself in human form, manifesting age after age as the direct embodiment of Vishnu to awaken humanity and restore cosmic balance and dharma (righteousness). Most often, He descends in India — the sacred land of the Avatar — where the hearts of His lovers await His coming.

"Age after age, when humanity suffers in the clutches of ignorance and cries out for help, I come as the Avatar. Taking human form, I awaken mankind to the realization of its true Self, and lead those who are ready to the Truth." Meher Baba.

Zoroaster, Rama, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad and Meher Baba. And in minor incarnations, not fully manifested.

The descents of the Avatar are like pearls on a divine thread through time, each one reflecting a different facet of the same infinite truth.
